Oscar Otte will play against Elias Ymer in the first round of the tournament in Stockholm. The game will start on October 19 at 09:00.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-2) for Otte – 1.81.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 22 – 1.72.
Ymer is out of form. Even at his home tournament, he is unlikely to succeed. He might put up some resistance, but we think the final victory will go to Otte. Oscar looked good at the tournament in Florence, so he must go through to the next round.
Otte’s last four matches have ended in three sets. It’s likely that something similar will happen against Ymer.
After a successful season on grass, Otte has slowed down. In recent matches, he has not impressed at all. In the last one and a half months, Oscar has only two wins. In the remaining seven matches, he has suffered defeats.
The switch to indoors has not given Otte any advantage either. At times, he has shown a good game, but not enough for his final success. Last week in Florence, for example, Oscar scored only one victory. After his successful clash with Marton Fuscovics (3-6, 6-4, 6-2), he lost to Felix Auger Aliassime (4-6, 7-6, 2-6).
In five of Otte’s previous six matches, more than 22.5 games have been played.
Ymer Senior is a frequent competitor at the Stockholm tournament, but he has not had much success so far. Elias’ best achievement here is to reach the second round. However, the last time he did so was in 2018. Last season, he failed to break the first-round barrier, losing to Francis Tiafoe.
It is worth noting that Ymer has yet to compete at indoors in 2022. His last tournament was in Tokyo. In Japan, Elias failed to qualify, losing in three sets to Ramkumar Ramanathan (7-5, 4-6, 1-6).
Ymer has taken part in the Stockholm tournament eight times and only twice managed to get past the first round.
